Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, Bill 66, An Act to Amend the Property Assessment and Taxation Act received second reading in the Legislative Assembly on November 3rd, 2022, and was referred to the Standing Committee on Government Operations for review.

Committee sought feedback on Bill 66, and from that feedback committee was able to amend three clauses to make the bill more functional. The amendments made a clause-by-clause review reflect a resolution advocated by a nonprofit organization and to address transparency concerning deadlines and decisions to approved purchases.

The committee presented its report on the bill to the Legislative Assembly on February 27th, 2023. I would like to thank committee for its work on the review of Bill 66. Individual Members may have additional comments. Thank you, Madam Chair.
